RECENTLY HAVE HAD A TRUNK AJAR MSG ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE TRUNK LID IS SECURE.AT NIGHT AFTER ROLLING UP WINDOWS AND LOCKING THE CAR THE INTERIORS LIGHTS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF(THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE). HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. UPON LETTING THE WINDOWS DOWN TODAY 8-7-15 FOUND THE SEAT HAD RETURNED TO THE FULL FRONT POSITION -BY ITS SELF. IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF 3 OR 4 TIMES.UPON DRIVING AND COMING HOME.THE DRIVER SEAT HAS NOT RESET ITSELF WHILE DRIVING SO FAR.MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF AT PRESENT.HOPE ITS LINKED TO THE TRUNK LID SENSOR OR WHATEVER IT IS.HAVE A SERVICE APPT..

2004 LINCOLN TOWN CAR CARTIER. RIDING DOWN ROAD 35 MPH ACCELERATING. WINDOWS WERE ALL UP, SUNROOF CLOSED. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR. WIFE TOUCHED SUNROOF BUTTON TO OPEN SUNROOF WHILE WINDOWS STILL CLOSED, AND BAM! THE SUNROOF EXPLODED; LUCKILY DID NOT SHATTER ONTO US BUT CRACKED IN LARGE PIECES. SCARED US BOTH BUT I KEPT CONTROL OF THE CAR UNTIL COULD PULL OVER. NO CARS IN THE AREA AROUND US. NOT AWARE OF ANY DEBRIS. A WINDSHILED REPLACEMENT COMPANY TOLD US THERE IS A HIGH INCIDENCE OF SUNROOFS EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. MY THOUGHTS ARE THAT THE SUDDEN PULLING BACK OF THE SUNROOF COVER CAUSED A BIG DIFFERENCE IN AIR PRESSURE CAUSING THE SUNROOF GLASS TO BREAK. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM NEEDING ATTN. USUALLLY I HAVE MY WINDOWS OPENED SLIGHTLY BEFORE OPENING SUNROOF..NO PRIOR PROBLEMS. ON THAT DAY, MY WIFE WAS HAPPY AS WE LEFT A BUSINESS AND OPENED THE SUNROOF BEFORE THE WINDOWS..AND THEN BAM! NEVER EXPECTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON A LINCOLN TOWN CAR. BUT, THE AUTO GLASS CO SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUNROOFTS. HAVE NOT YET HAD IT FIXED, WONDERING IF IT'S WORTH USING ANOTHER SUNROOF THAT MIGHT BREAK. MY CAR STILL OPERATES GOOD OTHERWISE.
